Dear Christine:

This separation and release agreement (this “Agreement”) sets forth the agreement reached concerning your separation from employment with Tiedemann Advisors, LLC (“Tiedemann”) (Tiedemann and all its parents and direct and indirect subsidiaries and affiliates are collectively referred to herein as the “Company”). It is the intention of you and the Company, by signing below, to settle fully and finally all differences or potential differences between you and it, including all differences or potential differences that arise out of or related to your employment or the separation of your employment with the Company. This Agreement supersedes and replaces any proposal predating the offer of this Agreement.

1.    Existing Entitlements and Obligations. The provisions of this paragraph 1 apply regardless of whether you enter into this Agreement.

2.    Consideration. In consideration for signing this Agreement and not revoking it, and subject to your use of your best efforts to perform any requested responsibilities during the Notice Period and your continued compliance with the CINA and this Agreement, in exchange for the promises, covenants and waivers set forth herein, the Company will provide you with the following:

2

The Separation Payments referenced in paragraphs 2(b)(iv), (v) and (vi) shall be subject to the “Clawback Provisions” as defined in Section 8 of the Award Agreement under the AlTi Global, Inc. 2023 Stock Incentive Plan Company, which was part of the Notice of Grant of Time-Based Restricted Stock Units and Award Agreement that you signed and dated June 12, 2023 (the “RSU Award”), as if such Separation Payments were issued in connection with the RSU Award.

You understand and agree that the Separation Payments and the COBRA Premium Benefit provided to you under this paragraph 2 are in addition to anything of value to which you are otherwise entitled from the Company, and that you are not entitled to and will not receive these payments and benefits unless you choose to sign the Agreement and do not revoke it.

3.    Tax Treatment. The Company may deduct or withhold from any compensation or benefits any applicable federal, state or local tax or employment withholdings or deductions resulting from any payments or benefits provided under this Agreement.

4.    No Other Compensation or Benefits. You represent, warrant and acknowledge that the Company owes you no wages, commissions, bonuses, sick pay, personal leave pay, severance pay, vacation pay, PTO pay or other compensation or benefits or payments or form of remuneration of any kind or nature, other than that specifically provided for in this Agreement. You acknowledge that unless you enter into this Agreement, you would not otherwise receive any separation benefits from the Company. The Separation Payments and the COBRA Premium Benefit are not, and should not be construed as, an admission of liability or wrongdoing by the Company.

5.    Release of Claims. As part of the consideration in exchange for the Separation Payments and the COBRA Premium Benefit, you hereby release and forever discharge the Company including its current and former parents, subsidiaries and affiliated entities, and their respective current and former successors, assigns, representatives, agents, attorneys, shareholders, members, officers, directors and employees, both individually and in their official capacities, from all debts, obligations, promises, covenants, agreements, contracts, endorsements, bonds, controversies, suits, actions, causes of action, judgments, damages, expenses, claims or demands, in law or in equity, which you ever had, now have, or which may arise in the future, regarding any matter arising on or before the date of your execution of this Agreement, including but not limited to all claims (whether known or unknown) by you or on your behalf regarding your employment at or termination of employment from the Company, any contract (express or implied), any claim for equitable relief or recovery of punitive, compensatory, or other damages or monies, attorneys’ fees, any tort, and all claims for alleged discrimination based upon age, race, color, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, religion, national origin, handicap, disability, genetic information or

retaliation, including any claim, asserted or unasserted, which could arise under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended (“ADEA”) the Equal Pay Act of 1963; the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990; the Civil Rights Act of 1866, 42 U.S.C. § 1981; the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008; the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974; the Civil Rights Act of 1991; the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (“WARN”) Act of 1988; the New York State WARN Act; the New York State Human Rights Law; the New York City Human Rights Law; the New York City Earned Safe and Sick Time Act; the New York State Labor Law; and any other federal, state or local laws, rules or regulations, whether equal employment opportunity laws, rules or regulations or otherwise, or any right under any Company pension, welfare, or stock plans, except as provided below. This Agreement may not be cited as, and does not constitute any admission by the Company of, any violation of any such law or legal obligation. This Agreement does not release any rights or claims you may have pertaining to vested accrued benefits earned under an employee benefit plan maintained by the Company and governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 or any rights or claims you may have pursuant to the Indemnification Agreement.

For its part, the Company releases and forever discharges you from those debts, obligations, promises, covenants, agreements, contracts, endorsements, bonds, controversies, suits, actions, causes of action, judgments, damages, expenses, claims or demands, in law or in equity, which the Company ever had, now has, or which may arise in the future, regarding any matter arising on or before the date of the Company’s execution of this Agreement, to the extent that you are entitled to indemnification with respect to such matter pursuant to Section 4 of the Indemnification Agreement.

6.    Employee Rights. Nothing in this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any paragraphs pertaining to confidentiality and non-disclosure, a release of claims, or non-disparagement, shall prohibit or restrict you (or your attorney) from filing a charge, testifying, assisting, or participating in any manner in an investigation, hearing or proceeding; responding to any inquiry; or otherwise communicating with any criminal or civil law enforcement agency or administrative or regulatory (including any self-regulatory) agency or authority, including, but not limited to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”), the Department of Justice (“DOJ”), the U.S. Congress, any agency Inspector General, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) and the National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”), the New York State Division of Human Rights (“NYSDHR”), the New York City Commission on Human Rights (“NYCCHR”), or any other state or local commission on human rights or agency enforcing anti-discrimination laws, or (ii) speaking with an attorney retained by you. Pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, an individual may not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (a) is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (b) is made in a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding. Further, an individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the employer’s trade secrets to the attorney and use the trade secret information

4

in the court proceeding if the individual: (a) files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (b) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect your right, if any, to self-organization, to form, join, or assist labor organizations, to bargain collectively through representatives of your own choosing, or to engage in other concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection, or from refraining from any or all such activities.

7.    Non-Disparagement. You will not disparage the Company, or issue any communication, written or otherwise, that objectively reflects adversely on or encourages any adverse action against the Company, except: (a) if testifying truthfully under oath pursuant to any lawful court order or subpoena, (b) if otherwise providing disclosures required by law, or (c) while engaging in any of the activities referenced in paragraph 6 of this Agreement. For clarity, this prohibition applies to any statement to or response to an inquiry by any member of the press or media, whether written, verbal, electronic, or otherwise.

For its part, the Company shall instruct those directors and officers listed in Appendix A not to disparage you, or issue any communication, written or otherwise, that objectively reflects adversely on or encourages any adverse action against you (any of the above, a “Disparaging Statement”), and no such persons shall be authorized to make any Disparaging Statements, except that Disparaging Statements shall not be considered to include statements made: (a) if testifying truthfully under oath in any legal proceeding, (b) if otherwise providing disclosures required by law, (c) as may reasonably be considered to be required (i) to comply with public company disclosure obligations and/or (ii) to respond to requests for information by the Company’s accountants, (d) to members of any Board of Directors of the Company, (e) to any governmental agency or (f) to an attorney representing the Instructed Individual or the Company. For clarity, this prohibition applies to any statement to or response to an inquiry by any member of the press or media, whether written, verbal, electronic, or otherwise.

8.    Confidential or Proprietary Information. Subject to your rights as set forth in paragraph 6 of this Agreement, you agree not to disclose, nor use for your benefit or the benefit of any other person or entity, any information received in connection with the Company which is confidential or proprietary and (i) which has not been disclosed publicly by the Company, (ii) which is otherwise not a matter of public knowledge or (iii) which is a matter of public knowledge but you know or have reason to know that such information became a matter of public knowledge through an unauthorized disclosure. Proprietary or confidential information shall include information the unauthorized disclosure or use of which would reduce the value of such information to the Company. Such information includes, without limitation, the Company’s financial information and projections, marketing information and plans, product formulations and production methods, intellectual property and trade secrets, data, know-how or knowledge relating to customers, independent sales representatives, sales, market development programs, plans or employees, client lists, any confidential information about (or provided by) any client or prospective or former client of the Company, information concerning the Company’s business or financial affairs, including its books and records, commitments, procedures, plans and prospects, products developed by the Company, or current or prospective transactions or business of the Company and any “inside information” and other types of information not generally available to the public. You agree that such information provides the Company with a unique and valuable competitive advantage. You hereby confirm that you have delivered to the Company and not intentionally retained copies of

5

any written materials, records and documents (including those that are electronically stored) made by you or coming into your possession during the course of your employment with the Company which contain or refer to any such proprietary or confidential information. You agree that if you find that you have unintentionally retained copies of any written materials, records and documents (including those that are electronically stored) made by you or coming into your possession during the course of your employment with the Company which contain or refer to any such proprietary or confidential information, you shall promptly deliver any and all such copies to the Company. You further confirm that you have delivered to the Company any and all property and equipment requested by the Company, including, but not limited to, laptop computers, smartphones, identification cards, and keys, credit cards, building passes and magnetic cards (and the like) as well as any information stored in a computer or on disk, including any and all information or documents regarding the Company’s clients, which may have been in your possession.

You further agree to perform all acts and execute and deliver any documents that may be reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this paragraph.

10.    Employment Inquiries. You understand that, in the event that Ali Trauttmansdorff (or her designee or anyone else serving as the Company’s Chief Human Resources Officer) receives any inquiries concerning you from prospective employers, the Company shall respond by providing your service dates and position held, and advising that it is the Company’s policy to provide information only as to service dates and positions held.

11.    Entire Agreement. With the sole exceptions of the CINA and the Indemnification Agreement, each of which continues to apply and be in full effect, and Section 8 of the RSU Award, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Company and you, and supersedes and cancels all other prior and contemporaneous written and oral agreements, if any, between the Company and you. You affirm that, in entering into this Agreement, you are not relying upon any oral or written promise or statement made by anyone at any time on behalf of the Company.

12.    Severability. If any of the provisions, terms or clauses of this Agreement is declared illegal, unenforceable or ineffective in a legal forum, those provisions, terms and clauses shall be deemed severable, such that all other provisions, terms and clauses of this Agreement shall remain valid and binding upon both parties.
